​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​JOIN ISRAEL'S GAS ​REVOLUTION!​

​​​In the past 15 years, Israel had transformed from a net importer of fossil fuels to self-sufficient in its gas consumption, presently providing for 65% of electricity generation.​​​​

The discovery of the giant Leviathan and Tamar gas fields in turbidite sands offshore Israel have established the Levant Basin as a world-class petroleum province. To date, 10 gas fields of various sizes have already been found in water depths of up to 1800m below mean sea level.

​​The Ministry of Energy is promoting the development of Israel's natural gas resources through the entire supply-chain, from exploration and production to transport and distribution to industries and households. The Ministry is seeking to expand the offshore exploration activity and is committed to provide long-term regulatory stability and a favorable investment environment. Our vision is to bring the benefits of natural gas not only to the Israeli economy but also to the entire Eastern Mediterranean region.

The East-Mediterranean Pipeline System

​​​​​The IGA (inter governmental agreement) between Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Israel, on the East-Mediterranean Pipeline Systen is expected to be signed by the end of 2018. The MOU between the parties was signed by the Ministers back in December 2017.
